The Israeli army said Friday that it had detected the launch of 10 rockets from southern Lebanon toward the Upper Galilee, one of which directly hit a house in the illegal border settlement of Misgav Am, causing significant damage.
Israel’s Channel 12 said sirens sounded in several northern towns following the launches, adding that some rockets were intercepted while others fell in open areas, the channel reported.
The channel said one rocket “directly” struck a house in Misgav Am, near the Lebanese border, causing heavy damage without reported casualties.
Israel imposes strict censorship on the extent of damage resulting from Hezbollah rocket fire and drones, as well as from ground clashes in southern Lebanon.
The latest developments came as Israel has intensified attacks on Lebanon despite ongoing diplomatic efforts linked to a two-week ceasefire announced Tuesday by the US and Iran and brokered by Pakistan.
While Pakistani mediators and Tehran said the truce also covered Lebanon, Washington and Tel Aviv have denied it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that "there is no ceasefire in Lebanon," despite ordering the commencement of direct negotiations with Beirut.
The Israeli army has intensified attacks across Lebanon since Wednesday, killing at least 303 people and injuring 1,150 others, according to Lebanese Civil Defense.
The expanded Israeli offensive on Lebanon since March 2 has killed 1,888 people and wounded 6,092 others, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
